From sharing the screen with strongman Thor Bjornsson and Chris Heria to collaborating with other industry elites, James loves to keep his fandom entertained. Several weeks ago, he paired with the bodybuilding GOAT Ronnie Coleman. The last time he mastered the King’s insane bodybuilding routine using trickery. Weeks after, the self-proclaimed son is back again.

In a recent video that Coleman shared on his official YouTube channel, he was seen attending a press meet at some event in Dubai. While the short video captured various moments from the event, someone special caught the King’s attention. Midway through the video, Coleman was seen sharing the space with James. For the unversed, James has repeatedly addressed himself as the son of Coleman for reasons only known to himself.

As James bent down to ask Coleman how he was doing, he soon caught everyone’s attention by asking an unexpected question. How does it feel to officially be my father?” enquired James. Even Ronnie was ready with an answer. Replying with his iconic line, “yeah, buddy,” Coleman nodded as he smiled the brightest for the camera.

Coleman was not anticipating his presence and looked delighted to spot Jesse approaching him. The YouTuber was seen addressing Coleman as “dad” as he approached him. James was quick to add how happy he was to see him again. “It was great to see you, Ron,” remarked James. Coleman, too, reverted with similar emotions. The last time the two were seen together was during a gym workout that James had planned to win Ronnie’s heart.

To match Ronnie’s stamina and strength is a dream only a few can achieve. YouTuber James knew from the very start that it was impossible for him to even try. Thus, he hatched a plan to deceive Coleman into thinking he was actually matching his insane workout routine, all to win his heart. Placing fake weights all around the gym, Jesse created a laugh riot after he masterfully tricked Coleman into his plan.

Attempting his hands at squatting with fake 800lbs for more than two reps, he earned the loudest cheer from hisbiological father.” However, he soon confessed his plans to Coleman. The bodybuilding legend was quick to forgive him. Nevertheless, the two had a fun time, and for James, “that was one of the coolest moments” of his life.
